I'm interested in Esperanto as a way of learning about other cultures and world views from other people, among other things. However, I have a concern. According to Wikipedia, "Esperanto speakers are also more prone to being against globalization and culture-washing or throwing away one's native language, meaning that while they want to be able to talk to people they also want those people to "stay unique"." I'm ethnically Chinese but live in America, and I only have a very basic command of Chinese. I'd rather not learn Chinese because it just takes too long to learn. Would I still be accepted by the Esperanto community?

But I get the point, it's not very interesting to speak esperanto with people speaking the same natural language, (we may even have the same shortcomings...) But still, I would say that to learn and teach esperanto may be the highest cultural interest of the esperanto community!
